Pregnancy, Childbirth and Playgroup Resources

The link below is to a series of eight articles which ran in "The Local" ( www.thelocal.de ) on grappling with pregnancy and childbirth as an English speaker in Germany. When we were building this page, we started discussing building all of this material and then found this great series of articles... it pretty much covers everything, so it saved us a ton of work!
